Saying Good-bye to How I Met Your Mother #HIMYMFarewell

by

Today I’m over at Sulia’s Romance Chanel, where I blog five days each week, saying good-bye to the long-running sitcom, How I Met Your Mother. 

I’m a late-comer to the show. I only started watching it a few years ago. Thanks to syndication I was able to catch up pretty quickly and it soon became my favorite sitcom.

There are so many episodes of the show that make me break out into laughter when I think about them:

The Pineapple Incident

How I Met Your Mother -- The Pineapple Incident Episode
After a crazy night of drinking, Ted wakes up the next morning with a sprained ankle, a burned jacket, a phone number written on his arm, a pineapple on his dresser, and a mystery woman in his bed. The gang tries to help Ted piece together exactly what happened the night before.

Intervention

How I Met Everyone Else

While everyone meets Ted’s new girlfriend who falls on the wrong side of Barney’s Crazy/Hot scale, they share their stories of how they met each other. But the stories don’t quite match up.

The cast that created the characters we’ve come to consider as friends said a lovely good-bye and thank you to their fans. Check out the good-bye video below.
